Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 334 The Earth Is Round

Wang Pingan looked at Mr. Honglou in disbelief, and said, "Mr. is well-versed in poetry and books, and is proficient in astronomy and geography. Although there are many mistakes in it, compared with ordinary people, the sky is compared with the earth."

Mr. Honglou was happy because of the first half of Wang Pingan's sentence, but soon swallowed the second half of it. He felt angry in his heart. Since he became a hermit, he rarely went out of the mountain. He didn't expect that Wang Ping'an would deny him this time. Achievement.

He said in a deep voice: "You say that the old man is wrong, then you tell the old man where the old man is wrong, so that the old man can learn, learn."

Wang Pingan picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth. He took a sip of the tea and continued: "The sky is windy because of the clouds. Even thunder and lightning can't escape the clouds. But the clouds come from the evaporation of water vapor, and then the water vapor follows the airflow." They rise to a height together, and then they start to turn into water droplets as soon as they are blown by the cold air from the high altitude, and finally it rains.

As for thunder and lightning, it is because the clouds have different electric charges. When the clouds reach a certain amount, they will collide with each other to produce sparks and make sounds. "

"You mean the spark is lightning, and the sound is thunder?" Mr. Honglou asked.

"That's right, as for the round sky, it's because the ancients couldn't prove that it was wrong, so everyone thought it was right, but there is an unknown place that proves that the round sky is wrong. "

"Impossible, the sky is round and the earth is round. This has been said in books since ancient times. How could there be mistakes? You must be talking nonsense." Mr. Honglou didn't believe that he had read the book for so long, and there would be mistakes.

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "Mr. Honglou, if you only know how to read and don't seek proof, then you will always be just a dead reader. As I said just now, people in the world have already proved that the circle of heaven and earth is wrong. It is round, and the sky is also round.”

"I know what your husband is going to ask. People can stand on the ground because of gravity. As long as they are under this gravitational force, almost everything, including people, can only stand on the ground. Even if they occasionally jump up or fly, then Unless he breaks away from this gravitational force, the final result is to fall to the ground." Wang Pingan interrupted Mr. Honglou and continued.

"Haha... novelty, novelty, really novelty, I don't know how to prove that this place is also round?" Mr. Honglou became interested. Although his knowledge is all learned in books, he is not an elm-headed man. What is said in the book is just that there are some things that he has no ability to touch.

Wang Pingan said: "First, you look straight ahead. If your land is square, then we can see endlessly, but we can only see the sky after a certain distance. The second is from Chang'an. Start, go around the world, and finally return to the starting point."

"Haha... It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. I agree with the first point of view, but I don't agree with the second point of view." Mr. Honglou said.

"I know that many people don't agree with this point of view, because without the corresponding tools, it may take a lifetime to walk around the world for a week. But someone has proved it, and the person who proved it is my master Xiaoyaozi." Wang Pingan said .

"Sir!!!" Feng Rou's voice came.

Wang Pingan turned around and saw Feng Rou walking slowly under the leadership of the guards.

"Why are you here?" Wang Pingan asked with a slight frown.

"Do you two know each other?"

Wang Pingan nodded slightly, and said, "I just met today."

Feng Rou didn't answer Wang Ping'an's words, but walked up to Mr. Honglou and saluted, "I've seen Mr., my father is upstairs and wants to invite Mr. upstairs, and introduce some people to you."

"I know the purpose of your father's coming to Chang'an. The person he introduced is not simple!" Mr. Honglou laughed.

Wang Pingan said next to him: "Since the master guessed it, can you see it, sir?"

"The husband is a countryman, I really don't want to see them." Mr. Honglou said self-deprecatingly.

"Hahaha... Mr. is too modest, how about we go to the second floor?" Wang Pingan said.

"Then tell me first how long it took your master Xiaoyaozi to go around the world." When Mr. Honglou heard Wang Pingan say that Xiaoyaozi went around the world, he couldn't help but kept wanting to ask whether it was true or not.

Wang Pingan smiled without saying a word, stretched out an index finger, got up and walked to the second floor.

And Mr. Honglou saw him stretching out a finger, and muttered to himself: "One year? This is absolutely impossible, ten years? It seems very impossible, 100 years, that is even more impossible, no one can live When you reach the age of one hundred, even if you exceed it, you are still dying. How can an old man travel far. Boy... Where are you?"

When he came back to his senses, Wang Ping'an had already walked to the second floor, so he looked at Feng Rou and asked, "Where's the kid?"

Feng Rou pointed in the direction of the second floor and said, "He's gone to the second floor."

Mr. Honglou got up quickly and said, "Feng Rou, lead the way to the second floor."

"Yes."

Feng Rou didn't expect Mr. Honglou to agree to go to the second floor so readily, and felt incredible. It seemed that he was running for Wang Ping'an, and she felt sour all of a sudden.

When Wang Pingan returned to the second floor, everyone was disappointed to see that he was the only one coming in, but Feng An among them was a little proud.

He said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Wang Ping'an has not found the hermit expert?"

Wang Pingan didn't know what happened, so he saluted Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, the hermit will be here soon."

Feng An smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you heard him say that the Hermit Master will come soon, haha..."

Everyone showed disappointment again. Just now they praised Wang Ping'an for drinking tea and chatting with the hermit master. Now that only one person came back, and said that the hermit master will come soon, wait, he will come soon, isn't it saying ...

Changsun Wuji lost his voice and said: "Ping'an, you...you can repeat it, the old man lost his mind just now, so I didn't hear clearly."

Wang Pingan replied subconsciously: "Oh, it's okay, the hermit will be here soon, but it's just a trivial matter, Uncle Changsun doesn't need to worry about it."

"Crack!!!"

The door was opened, and the figure of Mr. Honglou and Feng Rou appeared in everyone's eyes. At this time, everyone looked at Mr. Honglou in disbelief, while Feng An looked at Wang Pingan. He didn't expect that Wang Pingan really brought the hermit expert to him up.

Mr. Honglou looked around the room for a week, and found Wang Pingan among a dozen people. He ignored everyone and came to Wang Pingan's side and said, "Boy, tell me quickly, what does this mean? One year, ten years, or how much?"

Everyone was very curious when they saw him stretching out a finger and asking Wang Ping'an as if in a fit of madness.

Feng Ang felt a little embarrassed, because Mr. Honglou represented Lingnan. He felt a little lost in his current state. He stood up and cupped his hands at Mr. Honglou: "Sir, what happened, please calm down first. I believe Wang Ping'an will I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Mr. Honglou looked at Feng An, looked at Li Er and the others, calmed down, then bowed to everyone, and said: "I was in the countryside, I saw all the adults, and I was rude just now, please don't take offense."

Li Er said with a smile: "Sir, you are a hermit, you shouldn't be so crazy about a trivial matter."

"The lord is right. Just now I was debating whether the world is square or round with Wang Ping'an. He said that the world is round, and that someone can start from Chang'an and return to Chang'an without turning around. Cao Min is asking about the time. "Mr. Honglou replied.

Hearing that, except for Feng An, Feng Rou and Mr. Honglou, everyone laughed. Talking about the world with Wang Ping'an is simply asking for humiliation.

In this world, who knows the world best, apart from Wang Ping'an's master Xiaoyaozi, he is the one who knows best. The emperor's study also has a world map handed in by Wang Ping'an.

Mr. Honglou realized something was wrong and asked, "Why, do all the adults know about this?"

Li Er said with a smile: "We don't know about going around the world, but we do know one thing. No one in this world knows better than this kid. If he says the world is round, it must be round."

Mr. Honglou said very unconvinced: "Why, is he the emperor's son? What did he say?"

"Bold."

"Bold."

The first one was yelled by Li Er's accompanying eunuch, while the other one was uttered by Feng An.

But Li Er waved his hand and said, "It's okay." Then he continued to Mr. Honglou, "Sir, don't be unconvinced. As for why I am so sure, it is because I have a map of the world in my hand, which is quite detailed. If you saw it, you must be very interested."

"Really?" Mr. Honglou's eyes suddenly shone brightly.

"I've always said what I say. If you don't believe me, you can ask Feng An." Li Er said.

"No, Cao Min believes that Cao Min's previous disrespect, please forgive me, and I implore His Majesty to let Cao Min see the world map." Mr. Honglou knelt down with a plop, and saluted Li Erxing.

"Sir, please get up quickly. As for the world map, you can see it as soon as you return to the palace with me." Li Er helped Mr. Honglou up and said.

Changsun Wuji walked quietly to Wang Ping'an, kissed Mr. Honglou with his head, and asked, "How did you convince him to come to the second floor?"

Wang Ping'an explained: "It's very simple. A hermit like him thinks he is full of knowledge, and what he has learned is unparalleled. I just need to throw out a knowledge that he has never been exposed to to attract him and whet his appetite. Then Wherever you want him to go, he will go."

Changsun Wuji gave a thumbs up and said, "I admire this old man, I believe that only ghosts like you can attract him in this world."
